hoursNow here’s a recipe for anyone who loves sitting beside a grill on a chilly Thanksgiving morning, drinking whatever beverage you choose at that time of day (Irish coffee??). Warming your hands over a bird that’s going to be absolutely juicy, delicious, tender and moist---might we say even succulent? Can’t wait!
Ingredients
- 1- 12lb
turkey, thawed, cleaned with warm water, and dried well, fat deposits and giblets removed
- 3/4-1 tablespoon
poultry rub
- 1 cup
orange juice
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon
apple cider vinegar
Directions
Rub poultry rub all over turkey, both outside and inside the cavity.
Place the turkey in a plastic bag or marinating container and pour a generous amount of The Original Roasted Raspberry Chipotle Sauce® on the turkey and into the bird’s cavity.
Sprinkle on poultry rub.
Place turkey in refrigerator overnight to marinade.
In the morning, set the grill at 325° F.
Allow turkey to come to room temperature, 30-45 minutes while the grill warms up to 325° F.
If using a gas grill, turn on one burner and grill on the other side at 325° F. with the lid shut. (Place the turkey in a shallow pan to avoid juices dripping on the burners.) If using a charcoal grill, set the turkey on the side opposite the coals in the shallow pan.
Cook turkey until it reaches an internal temperature of 190° F., approximately 12-15 minutes per pound.
After one and a half hours mix orange juice and apple cider vinegar; put in a squirt bottle and mist the turkey lightly.
When done, allow turkey set out for at least 15 minutes before serving.
